Parasitology and Vector Biology, Second Edition, is a comprehensive introduction to human and animal parasitology. It provides basic information on the biologies of such agents as protists, worms, and arthropods, but it also emphasizes how control programs can be structured in a sociological, political, and economic milieu. Students and researchers alike will appreciate the added coverage of the molecular aspects of parasitology in this new edition.
Key Features

* Contains sidebars that discuss various aspects of parasitic disease
* Discusses the real-world control of parasitic diseases, within biological, social, and economic contexts
* Offers an expanded discussion of vector biology
* Includes an extensive glossary
* Consistent, logical organization allows the student ready access to important material
